How do you extend the amount of time before the lock screen will appear?

I'm trying to automate a process that when I plug in headphones, my run tracker & music player will start and the timeout on my lock screen will be extended to 30 minutes (so I do not have to type in a password while I am working out)

I am running Android 4.3, on a Verizon Note 2 (unrooted and I would prefer not to)

Thanks!

Hi,

There's an action Set Screen Timeout to change the screen timeout in general but there's no action to adjust the lock timeout only. The lock timeout setting is not exposed officially by Android for third party apps so it most likely would need root to change it.
When you use the PIN or password lock screen, you could also use Set Lock PIN/Password to disable/enable the lock screen for some time.
